Mini spool, Like a lock right? or one that wont have any slipping?
Kurt @ Cruiser Outfitters has all sorts of fun stuff, Even some bearings if you need them.
Good luck

no spool like spool. not an actual locking/unlocking diff like a loc-rite or a detroit. but a real spool. i haven't found one yet but heard iron pig makes something so i'll call them tomorrow

spool

We have mini spools that we actually make for a different application that we have installed in cruiser diffs. The splines fit a bit tight, but it is an inexpensive and strong alternative to welding the diff.

i deceided im gonna just weld it. im low on cash and have other stuff i need to spend it on. im gonna re-weld it properly with a big 250 lincoln mig if that doesn't hold i'll shuck out for a real locker or a new carrier and mini spool

Some run a slightly modified 12 bolt GM mini spool. There was an article in Trails a few years ago explaining how, pretty easy. Like this:

Yes people use them in Landcruisers. A mini spool is a great alternative to a welded diff, but it is what it is, for $100.

Yes sir I am. It's going in the rear of my buggy. When I wheeled my jeep I always ran the rear locker engaged the whole time. Since this will be a trail only rig I see no adverse effects. Sure I could run an arb to help with turning, but for the price I can run a driveline disconnect and cutting brakes and turn even easier.
